Release date- 11102021 - NEW YORK - Despite tremendous strides toward greater gender equality and equity for women in the workplace, approximately 5.4 million jobs were lost by women in 2020 amid COVID-19. To help women re-enter the workforce and realize their career ambitions, Verizon and its partners today launched Women's CoLab, an initiative providing women with essential resources to help them achieve success in an increasingly digital economy.

'In recent years, we have celebrated many history-making firsts that prove women belong in every room, at every table, and deserve to be seen and heard as equals,' said Tami Erwin, CEO of Verizon Business. 'Unfortunately, the momentum we have achieved as a society has all but come to a standstill in the wake of the pandemic. With Women's CoLab, we are committed to giving women the support and resources they need to reach their career aspirations and thrive professionally.'

The Women's CoLab community, led by Verizon, launches today - on International Day of the Girl - with a virtual celebratory event featuring top women executives from Accenture, Disney, Bank of America, The Estee Lauder Companies, Ferrero, Mastercard, Scary Mommy and Walmart. During the panels and sessions, they will share lessons learned and career insights that helped them achieve success. The event can be viewed at no cost from 12 PM to 3:30 PM ET on the Women's CoLab's YouTube channel.

Beyond the launch event, Women's CoLab offers a library of resources and peer-to-peer support on WeAreWomensCoLab.com, available for free to any user. Powered by Degreed, the site provides hyper-relevant development and training resources from industry experts such as Harvard Business, The Achieve Institute, The Female Quotient, The A Effect, Blue Circle Leadership, and Scary Mommy, to help women to remain, re-enter and thrive in the workforce.
